I'll report this to the government and send all the main characters to jail.

Chapter 15 A Plan Within a Plan: Foresight!

Deep within the dark passage, Xiao Fan's steps were as swift as the wind, with his trusted men following closely behind.

[Hahaha, a bunch of idiots! Did they really think they could stop me?]

That female cop is quite capable; she's probably awakened a high-level superpower, but unfortunately, she's not very bright.

Once I obtain the inheritance, the first thing I'll do is kill her!

As Xiao Fan ran, he smugly calculated in his mind.

The gunshots and explosions behind him grew fainter and fainter, and it seemed that the pursuers had been shaken off.

Soon, a magnificent hall exuding an ancient aura appeared at the end of the passage.

The stone doors of the main hall were tightly closed, and intricate flame patterns were carved on them.

A surge of intense energy leaked from the crack in the door, distorting the surrounding air.

"This is it! The Hall of Emperor Yan's Legacy!"

An unprecedentedly fervent light erupted in Xiao Fan's eyes.

He could feel that power, which he was so familiar with and so longed for, was right behind that door!

"Boss, they're catching up!"

Behind him, Zhang Kui reminded him, panting.

Behind the passage, Qin Bing appeared with twenty or thirty elite warriors, and blue energy beams began to shoot towards them.

"Perfect timing!"

Xiao Fan suddenly stopped and turned around. His face showed no panic, but rather a kind of madness that indicated complete control.

He looked at the twelve men who remained behind him, all of whom had survived the bloody battle just now.

Everyone was covered in bruises, but their eyes were filled with fervent adoration for him.

"Brothers!" Xiao Fan's voice was full of seductive power:

"We're about to succeed! Behind that door lies the supreme power that will make us stand out from the crowd!"

"But I need some time."

He pointed to the huge stone gate behind him, and then to Qin Bing and the others who were getting closer.

"I need ten minutes!"

"You guys, hold them off for ten minutes!"

This was a death sentence.

Twelve lives were exchanged for ten minutes of his time.

Everyone understood.

But not a single person backed down, not a single person hesitated.

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Kui was the first to step forward. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth stained with blood, his smile ferocious.

"Brothers, we've been training for this moment! Our leader has treated us well; now it's time for us to repay him!"

"It is our honor to sacrifice our lives for Emperor Yan's cause!"

"kill!!"

The twelve reborn individuals, like mad dogs injected with adrenaline, roared and charged towards Qin Bing's group.

Even more terrifying, as they charged forward, they pulled out metal spheres that were flashing a dangerous red light from their pockets!

"Oh no! It's a psionic bomb! Get down!"

Qin Bing's pupils suddenly contracted, and she issued a stern warning.

These psionic bombs were crudely made by the reborn using some pre-apocalyptic technology and the alien beast cores they had just obtained. They were extremely powerful!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The twelve reborn individuals, halfway through their charge, did not hesitate to detonate themselves!

They used their own flesh and blood to launch a suicide terrorist attack!

In an instant, the entire passage was engulfed by raging flames and shockwaves!

The hard rock wall was blasted open and cracked inch by inch, and huge rocks fell from above.

A makeshift defensive line formed by explosions and flames forcefully halted Qin Bing and the others' advance.

Xiao Fan didn't even glance back.

It was as if the twelve who gave their lives for him were not his trusted subordinates, but twelve insignificant ants.

He turned around and placed his hands on the scorching hot stone door.

"open!"

With a low shout, the golden flames within his body surged wildly into the stone gate.

The flame totem on the stone gate seemed to come alive, starting to swirl and hum.

"Boom!"

The heavy stone door slowly opened.

A scorching wave of heat, almost tangible and carrying the smell of sulfur, rushed in from inside the door!

Without hesitation, Xiao Fan plunged in!

The stone door slammed shut behind him again.

"Cough cough...cough..."

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Qin Bing, covered in soot, stood up from behind a shield.

She's alright; she's protected by her rune armor.

However, several soldiers behind her were thrown into the air by the shockwave and suffered serious injuries.

"These lunatics!"

Qin Bing gritted her teeth, looking at the severed limbs scattered on the ground, feeling both shocked and furious.

She rushed to the tightly closed stone door, reached out and touched it, and was met with a terrifyingly high temperature that almost melted her gloves.

"Captain Qin, this door..." A soldier stepped forward, his face grave.

"It's protected by ancient energy; our weapons might..."

"Then let's fry it!" Qin Bing's eyes were as cold as ice.

"Bring me all the high-energy explosive devices! I don't care what kind of door it is, it has to be blown open today!"

"yes!"

The soldiers immediately sprang into action, installing powerful spirit explosion devices on the stone gate.

command center.

Everyone was stunned by the horrific scene of the suicide attack.

"This...this isn't just a criminal, this is an outright terrorist!"

"That Xiao Fan is ruthless! He's willing to sacrifice even his own men without hesitation!"

Old Long's face was ashen, and he remained silent, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner rage.

Su Chen's expression was also very unpleasant.

Although he had anticipated that Xiao Fan would resort to any means necessary, he hadn't expected him to be this ruthless.

[Haha, a bunch of cannon fodder, finally served their purpose.]

Ten minutes is enough!

Once I absorb the inherited flame, all of you will die!

Xiao Fan's comments were filled with smugness and cruelty.

Su Chen stared intently at the tightly closed stone door on the screen, his mind racing.

We can't let him succeed! Absolutely not!

A madman who possesses the legacy of Emperor Yan, yet is so ruthless and has no bottom line.

If he escapes, it will be a devastating disaster for the entire Dragon Kingdom and the entire world!

"Qin Bing! How much longer until we can blow open the door?" Su Chen asked into the communicator.

"Advisor, it will take another three minutes!"

Three minutes, is that enough time?

Su Chen's heart was in his throat.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.

Inside the Hall of Inheritance

In the center was a lava pool, and in the center of the pool floated a fist-sized ball of golden fire, as dazzling as the sun.

Xiao Fan was sitting cross-legged under the fire, his eyes closed and his hands forming a mudra.

Golden energy was flowing from the fire and continuously pouring into his body.

Behind him, a blurry figure made of flames, ten meters tall, was slowly coalescing.

That was the phantom of Emperor Yan!

The passing on of tradition has begun!

Moreover, judging from the intensity of the energy tide, it seems to have entered a critical stage.

Outside the temple

"Countdown! Ten, nine, eight..."

"Three, two, one! Detonate!"

Boom!!!

A deafening roar, louder than any explosion before, rang out!

The seemingly indestructible stone door was finally blasted open with a huge gap by the combined attack of several high-energy spirit explosion devices!

"Rush!"

Qin Bing was the first to rush in, her specially made sniper rifle already locked onto Xiao Fan in the center of the hall.

However, the sight they saw when they rushed into the hall stunned everyone.

Xiao Fan sat there cross-legged, his entire body enveloped in raging golden flames, trembling violently.

His face was contorted in pain, as if he were about to be burst by that terrifying energy at any moment!

The phantom of the Flame Emperor behind him also became extremely unstable, flickering between light and darkness, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"He...he seems to have lost control of that power!" a soldier exclaimed.

"This is our chance!"

Qin Bing's eyes narrowed, and without any hesitation, she immediately raised the silver-white sniper rifle in her hand.

This gun was specially made for her by the Academy of Sciences, codenamed "Frozen Embrace".

She can compress her S-class ice-type ability into a high-density ice crystal bullet, powerful enough to instantly freeze a small mountain!

This is her most powerful trump card!

Just as she was about to pull the trigger!

"Don't move!!"

Su Chen's hoarse roar exploded from her earpiece!

"He's acting!!"

Qin Bing's finger, which was about to pull the trigger, froze in mid-air.

She was stunned.

acting?

He was about to explode and die, how could it be acting?

Command Center

Su Chen stared at the line of comments that had just floated above Xiao Fan's head, his heart pounding.

[Damn, this inherited power is too immense; this amount of time is simply not enough to fully absorb it!]

However, the core strength has already been acquired!

[First, pretend to be overwhelmed by the backlash and lose control, then create a massive explosion, and slip away through the secret passage I prepared beforehand amidst the chaos!]

[Let them think I failed in my inheritance and am severely injured, they'll definitely lower their guard! Once I've digested my power, I'll come back to settle accounts with you!]

[You mysterious ghost, you bastard, you didn't expect that, did you! I still have a backup plan!]

so close!

So close!

Su Chen's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

This Xiao Fan is such a damn good actor!

She's incredibly cunning!

"Qin Bing! Heed my command!"

Su Chen's brain made a decision in a fraction of a second, and his voice left no room for doubt:

"Immediately launch a feigned attack! Use your strongest firepower to bombard him! Create maximum pressure on him! Make him believe we've been tricked!"

"Your elite squad, now, immediately, proceed to the coordinates I sent you!"

Su Chen's finger flew across the screen, bringing up a backup structural diagram of the ruins, with a red dot flashing on it.

"That's a backup escape route for this ruin! It's very well hidden; Xiao Fan wants to leave through there!"

"Block it up!"
